Other celebrities have been sighted wandering through the streets of Salem as well. Miss Lucy Fur escorted Oprah and her gal pal Gail to buy magic oils at Laurie Cabot's Witch store.

Magi comes to Salem

I have invited a special guest to the Hamburger Mary's Gala. His name is Boudreaux and he is a Magi. This picture is proof. He will be doing astrology readings for celebrities. He was the Magi who predicted the birth of the komodo dragons to a virgin dragon on St Stephen's Day.

Boudreaux has special psychic abilities, speaks 4 languages ( one of them being the very difficult Giant Pink Snail language) and is also a great dancer. He is bringing his pet human, Padre Don who is also psychic, speaks several languages and also dances.

Hoping Donatella brings extra clothing for all of us....
ciao for now,
zevo

countdown to the grand opening

There is still so much to do and so little time. Rachel Ray and Wolfgang Puck have come up with a divine menu for the gala. Bruce has promised that there will be a surprise guest singing along with him and the band. So many celebrities have sent RSVPs.

The real question is ...what will we wear? We invited Donatella.....maybe she will bring some a few extra gowns with her.

The phone is ringing,
ciao ciao

P Diddy Banned from Hamburger Mary's

Save the Raccoon Dog!

The "faux" fur on Sean "Diddy" Comb's coats sold in the United States wasn't faux at all -- it was from Asia's "raccoon dog". May the fleas of the raccoon dog plague Mr Diddy.

Zevo Calamari, spokes-poose for the Save the Raccoon Dog Foundation has banned P.Diddy and his entourage from ever visiting the new Hamburger Mary's which is set to open in one week. Miss Calamari recommends that Mr Diddy should change his name (again) to Dead Doggie Didddy. She also recommended that he carry his own umbrella.

Also banned from the premises are Nicole Richie, Paris Hilton, Britany Spears, Christina Ricci, Kate Moss and all other fur wearing stick insects (as well as all fur wearing regular folk!)

happy festivus

A Festivus for the Rest of Us!

Happy Festivus. We put the pole up. It looks great. I am waiting for my turn to wrestle with my pet human in the feats of strength contest. Meanwhile here is my list of grievances:

1. I hate when my pet human makes me wear stupid head-gear... like this one.
2. I do not think it is fair that Zevo has a way cooler Vespa than i do.
3. And it is so unfair she gets her way all the time and gets to have more fun.
4. I am not happy with the way the chimp in the White House is running the country.
5. I do not like the new cat crunchies my pet human bought. I do not care if they are organic.
6. I am disappointed in the ending of the last Pirates of the Caribbean movie.
7. I think it is unfair that i am not allowed on the balcony without supervision.
8. I do not like waiting to eat so that Zevo can eat first.
9. I do not like my pet human leaving so much. She should stay home and take naps with me...only me.
10. I am very unhappy that we no longer have cable tv. I miss David Letterman and The Daily Show.

Festivus Eve

Trump forgives the Miss Poose USA Gals

Entertainment Tonight

The Donald has forgiven Miss Poose USA West and Miss Poose USA East despite reports of drinking, failed cat nip tests and other acts of misconduct. A spokesperson for the Miss USA pooses said that these pooses are innocent and were once substitutes for the famed celebrity cats known as Zevo Calamari and a Miss Boo. This was a case of mistaken identity.

Miss Poose USA West and Miss Poose USA East will be able to keep their tiaras and titles if they behave.

Barney Bush accused of biting Rummy

CNN NEWS ALERT

Barney Bush will hold a press conference today at noon EST to explain the allegations that he was the one who bit Donald Rumsfeld (the second biting).

Miss Lucy Fur was cleared of all charges after her lawyer showed that she was shopping at Tiffanys with Oprah the day of the second biting. Tiffany's provided the security video as proof.

Miss Lucy is still in Switzerland opening a chocolate mouse candy factory with the help of Wolfgang Puck. She will be returning to the US before the holidays.

A civilian has volunteered footage shot on his video camera of Barney Bush in drag biting Mr Rumsfeld to the FBI. George Bush has denied that Barney dresses in drag and claims that Rummy and Barney have a wonderful friendship.

Poose-gram from the Alps

Hello Girls,

Well, I'm ready to ditch the Alps and come home. I think I've lost the Goons for now. That wretched Barney Bush really did it this time.

I did have a few spa treatments here in Switzerland and have been doing chocolate tastings for the restaurant, of course. The mocha covered mice are particularly delicious!

I have also been picking up a few stocking stuffers for you over here and can't wait to get home to celebrate the holidays.

See you soon,

Still life with Mouse

I finally have finished the series of paintings that Zevo commissioned me to do for the dining area of the new Hamburger Marys. I am exhausted. The pieces are magnificent and I am sure they will be put in the Louvre someday.

Today I am looking forward to a nice nap in the sun and a few mouse crepes. I do hope my pet human bought a bottle of wine at Trader Joes for me.

I wondering how Lucy Fur is doing in Switzerland. I am scared to call her.... homeland security has been all over Zevo and I lately.... what a drag.

Anderson Cooper Live from Switzerland

CNN
Tonight on Anderson Cooper

Celebrity Cat, Miss Lucy Fur has fled to Switzerland with the help of her friend Wolfgang Puck. Miss Fur is a suspect in the biting of Donald Rumsfeld during yesterdays ceremony.

Miss Fur claims she has been framed by Mr Barney Bush, dog of W, who was in drag, and also wearing a cat costume with a tiara. According to poose informants, Barney is said to have been quite put out that Rumsfeld called him a mangey mutt and kicked him when W was napping.

Wolfgang Puck has hired the best lawyers to have Lucy cleared by the opening of the Hamburger Mary's in Salem on New Years Eve. There has been no comment from the White House about Barney Bush.

Meanwhile Rachel Ray has won the chef-off but has agreed to work along side Mr Puck at the new restuarant in order to keep everyone happy.

News Flash....Rumsfeld bit.... again

President Bush, right, and outgoing Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld (giving the Hail Hitler salute) took part in an Armed Forces Full Honor Review in Honor of Rumsfeld, Friday, Dec. 15, 2006, at the Pentagon.

During President Bush's speech, Mr. Rumsfeld was heard yelling "What the #$&*" and began chasing a cat wearing an emerald tiara. Unconfirmed sources claim that Rumsfelf was once again bit by a Miss Lucy Fur.

Rumors flying around say that Miss Lucy is on a rampage since her favorite chef Wolfgang Puck is losing the Chef-off contest for the new Hamburger Mary's in Salem. She felt this was the best way to let off some steam.

It was later reported that Mr. Rumsfeld was flown into Camp David for stitches and was given pain killers. No word on the where abouts of Miss Lucy Fur have been reported.

Palm trees appeared mysteriously overnight in Salem, MA at the old site of Roosevelts Bar & Grill. Massive construction crews have been seen working feverishly on the building, rumored to soon be the new Hamburger Marys. Every effort to make it appear as it once did in Hillcrest, San Diego is being taken.

Unconfirmed sources have seen Oprah walking around the construction site with a Miss LucyFur yelling at the crew. Zevo Calamari and Boo have called in their friends the Fab 5 as well as Donatella Versace for advice on decorating and menu tips.

The mayor of Salem has assured the city council that all permits and licenses have been approved for the opening. She has promised the city that this will bring in added revenue to Salem and more jobs for residents. An undisclosed source claims that more police have been added to the force and extra space in the jail has just been built.

univiting the blogger.com boys

We are experiencing major technical difficulties with this blog. After switching to the new beta-version ( which was suggested by blogger.com) all blogs that are linked to planet calamari have merged into one account and my profile info and pictures are in cyberspace. Needless to say my pet human is in a tizzy.
WARNING!!!!!!For all of you with blogs... DON'T SWITCH if you have more than one blog.

Until this is remedied please excuse all bizarro graphics and information on the profile...which i believe has me down as the Mona Lisa.

Oh... and all you blogger.com boys... you can stay home until this is fixed!
